Ripping a image, good or bad?

I'm a little unsure if that is the case and would just like someone to clarify for me. The reason I ask is I have Alcohol 120% and am able to create an image and then rip the image with EAC faster than I can rip the cd with EAC in the first place. Also I am able to create an image of a couple of really badly scratched cd's which I was having trouble ripping with EAC. So basically is there a degredation in quality when using Alcohol?

No, you couldn't, for the reasons outlined in the thread linked above.
